If you're really familiar with snakes, and you know that what you've caught is a garter snake or another nonvenomous snake, you might be able to get away with touching it. But if you're at all unsure what type of snake you've caught, don't take the chance. Wild snakes don't much like to be handled, anyway. Gently carry the entire trap to your vehicle and put it in the trunk or another enclosed area so you can transport it.  Don't shake the trap or poke at the snake. Handle it with care. You might want to keep small children and pets away from the trap while you're handling it, just to be on the safe side. If you let the snake go too close to your house, it will find its way back to its home territory. Release the snake at least a mile from your home if you want to make sure it doesn't come back. However, if you trapped the snake in your house and you don't mind if it lives outdoors in the yard, you can just walk outside to release it there. The snake will have the best chance at surviving without disturbing other people if you release it in a natural area. Go to a state park or another area without a lot of people living close by to release the snake. This way it won't end up in someone else's garden. Freeing a snake is not usually dangerous; in most cases, the snake will be happy to slither away and leave you alone. But just in case, wear long pants and gloves when you're freeing the snake. Watch the snake carefully and be ready to move out of the way if it decides to strike. Depending on which kind of trap you used, there are two different ways to free a snake:  If you used a reusable glue trap, unlatch the lid of the box and open it up. Pour vegetable oil over the snake's body, making sure to cover the entire are that's attached to the glue. The trap is designed so that the snake will be able to wiggle free from the glue once the oil gets between the snake's skin and the bottom of the trap. By this time you should be standing a fair distance from the trap so you aren't blocking the snake as it leaves the...

TL;DR in English: Don't attempt to touch the snake. Drive at least a mile from your house. Go to a natural area without many residences nearby. Free the snake. Kill the snake only as a last resort.

If you search the person's full name online, you may pull up newspaper obituaries or other information about them that will lead you to a date of death. This type of search typically yields better results if the person has a somewhat unusual name.  Even if the person has a relatively common name, you can filter out less relevant results by including other information about the person. For example, if you know the town where they were born, you can add that town name. An obituary typically would list where the person was born. If you know the names of other people who were related to that person or survived that person, adding those names can also help you narrow your search results. If you're trying to find out when someone died who lived hundreds of years ago, genealogy sites may be your best bet. Many of these sites have compiled data and records going back hundreds of years.  For example, ancestry.com has a global grave index available at https://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=60541. This database indexes cemetery and burial details going back to the 1300s. You'll get better search results if you have a lot of information about the person. Otherwise, be prepared to sift through numerous results. Many governments provide at least limited access to digitized government databases online. Do an online search for "death index" or "death records" with the name of the country the person was from.  If you believe the person died more recently, or at least within the past 50 years, government databases may have a record of the death. Older records may be spotty, especially if the country has been involved in war or civil strife, or had a significant change in government. For example, it may be more difficult to find out when someone died if they lived in Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. Local newspapers typically publish an obituary whenever there is a death. For many people, this may be the only record of their death that is available. If you can find the person's obituary, you can find out when they...

TL;DR in English: Start with a general search of the person's name. Try genealogy sites for older deaths. Check online government databases. Search newspaper obituaries.

In early math, you worked only with numbers. Learning algebra is about being able to solve problems with unknown terms. These unknown terms are represented in the problems with letters. You need to get used to treating these letters like numbers, although you may not know their actual value yet. Some common examples of variables include:  Letters, such as x{\displaystyle x}, y{\displaystyle y} or z{\displaystyle z}  Greek symbols, such as θ{\displaystyle \theta }, α{\displaystyle \alpha } or σ{\displaystyle \sigma }. Be aware that some symbols might look like variables but are actually known numbers. For example, the Greek symbol pi, π{\displaystyle \pi }, stands for the number 3.1415. If you think of the phrase, “Two times some number,” you can express that with a variable as 2∗x{\displaystyle 2*x}. The variable x{\displaystyle x} takes the place of the unknown “some number.” Usually, your job in an algebra problem is to find the value of the variable. For example, when you start with the equation 4+x=9{\displaystyle 4+x=9}, you need to think, “What number added to 4 will make 9?” The solution is 5, which you can write algebraically as x=5{\displaystyle x=5}. When you learn to treat the variables as numbers, you can combine or simplify them as you do with numbers. This is usually referred to as “combining like terms.”  For example, 2x+3x=10{\displaystyle 2x+3x=10} just means that 2 of some variable added to 3 of the same variable will equal 10. If you have 2 of something and 3 of the same thing, you can add them together. Then, 2x+3x{\displaystyle 2x+3x} will become 5x, so your problem is 5x=10{\displaystyle 5x=10}, and the solution is x=2{\displaystyle x=2}. You can only add or subtract the same variable. Some algebra problems may contain two or more variables. In the problem 2x+3y=10{\displaystyle 2x+3y=10}, you cannot combine the x{\displaystyle x} and y{\displaystyle y} terms together because the different variables represent different unknown numbers.

The motherboard is the large green board that all of the drives are connected to. It unplugs from the motherboard the same way that it did for the DVD and hard drives. Grip the large connector firmly and pull one side up at a 45°angle, then pull the other side up. It will be difficult to remove if you try pulling straight up. You can grip the connector with pliers if you have difficulty. There are two connectors that will need to be removed in order to pull the motherboard out. Remove each connector and make note of where it was plugged in.  There is a yellow cable connecting the motherboard to the case fan, the power switch and the reset switch. There is also a cable that connects the USB ports to the motherboard. These screws are located in various places around the board. If you are looking at the motherboard from the front of the Xbox, five screws are located above the CPU fan, five screws are located below, and one screw is several inches to the right of the fan. Remove the screws with a Torx 10 screwdriver. Place your fingers around the edges inside the case and lift straight up and out. Be sure to set the motherboard somewhere where it won't get damaged while it is out of the case.

TL;DR in English: Identify the motherboard. Locate and remove the IDE cable from the motherboard. Remove the power cord from the motherboard. Remove the connectors. Find the 11 screws that hold the motherboard into place. Extract the motherboard.

Twitter and Tumblr make it easy to be completely unfiltered in a very public way. If you're going to rant hard on a subject that you feel passionately about, feel free to do it, but don't post it online until you've had a chance to think about it for a while.  Good rule of thumb: give it 24 hours. If you still feel the same way about the issue, and just as passionately, and are willing to stand behind it if you're called into question, post it. If you were called onto national television and asked to defend your opinion, would you want to do it? If the answer is no, you might think twice about posting it for all the world to see online. Ever see the video of protesters holding anti-Socialism signs who are asked to define Socialism, and can't? You don't want to be them. You'll be on a fast-track to embarrassing yourself if you go out and start ranting about an issue you know nothing about. Get smart before you start making noise. Again, it can't be stressed enough, if you're not informed about a particular issue, we don't need your opinion about it. Keep it to yourself. Ad-hominem attacks are directed at the character of a particular person, not the work or the words that came from that person. It's a good idea to mock the creator of "Two and a Half Men" for the terrible show he's responsible for, but not because "he has a dumb face and bad clothes." That doesn't have anything to do with the subject at hand. Avoid the temptation to attack the character. . Your rant has to make sense, even if it's running on its passion. Be familiar with the basics of creating an argument and sustain it with good points and logic, or your rant will fall apart. Every argument should include:  A clear thesis Supporting evidence Good examples Warrants and backing logic A summary or conclusion It's important that you save a good rant for something that you're going to be able to dismantle with surgical precision, not something that just rubs you the wrong way and which you feel like making noise about.

Sapphires come in blues, with the lightest being Sweden princess blue and the darkest being navy or black. The most prized color is royal blue, which is in the middle of the scale. As the most prized, however, it is also the most expensive. Camelot and commodore blues, which are one shade lighter and darker, respectively, are similar in hue but slightly more affordable. Blue sapphires can be pure blue, or they can be tinted by green or purple. By value, pure blue ranks highest with slight purple tints following shortly after. Strong purple hues and any green hue are generally considered undesirable. Transparency is often overlooked when buying sapphires, but the more transparent a stone is, the more brilliant it will look. Transparent stones can also be expensive, though. Fully transparent and semi-transparent stones allow the most light to pass through. Translucent sapphires allow light to pass through, but obscure objects, making it a good compromise between transparency quality and budget. Semi-opaque and opaque stones allow little to no light to pass through. While blue is the most common color for a sapphire, these gemstones also come in several other colors. Padparadscha sapphires, which are orange-pink, are rare and considered valuable. Pink sapphires are also popular.  Colorless, yellow, and green sapphires are significantly less prized. Where a sapphire was mined can have a huge impact on its overall cost. Sapphires mined in Kashmir, Mogok, Burma, and Ceylon are usually more prized than those mined elsewhere. Typically, that is because the quality of sapphires coming from these mines is higher than those coming from most other locations. This is not always true, though, and paying for origin is a little like paying for a brand name. You can save money by purchasing quality sapphires from "lesser" mines. Cut does not refer to the shape of the stone. Rather, it refers to the facets on a gem's surface, which allow light and color to shine through at their best.  A deep cut sapphire has better color,...

Try different forms of vitamins such as liquids or capsules and dosages to figure out what is less likely to cause your stomach to be upset. To decrease the likelihood of stomach upset from vitamins, never take more than indicated on the label or that is prescribed by your doctor. Some medicines and vitamins interact with caffeine found in coffee or tea.  Caffeine can also change the way your body absorbs vitamins.  Caffeine may interfere with the absorption of vitamins like calcium, vitamin D, Iron, vitamin B, and others. You should take your vitamins on a regular schedule and at the same time of day. You can set an alarm to avoid forgetting or taking vitamins late. You can also take your vitamins immediately following dinner, if you eat a consistent time, to follow a consistent time table.

Once you have completed and checked all of your paperwork, you will be ready to file. To file the forms, you should try to get help from the prison's legal service. Bring all of the required paperwork with you and say that you want to file divorce papers.   Your prison's legal service should file the papers for you. They should also give you the documents that you will need along with proof that they filed the forms. If your prison does not have a legal services program that handles divorces, ask a trustworthy friend or family member to file the papers for you with the clerk of the court where you will be getting divorced. Your spouse must receive notice of the divorce proceedings in order for the court to proceed with the case. You can either serve the divorce papers on your spouse by certified mail or in person.  To serve the papers by mail, you will need to pay to have the papers sent by certified mail. If it is sent by certified mail, your spouse will have to sign for the papers. To serve the papers in person, hire a process server or have someone you trust personally hand a copy of the summons and complaint to your spouse. The person who serves the papers to your spouse must be 18 years or older. You cannot serve your spouse with the divorce papers. After your spouse has been served with the divorce papers, you will need to file an affidavit of service. This document will need to be signed by the person who delivered the divorce papers to your spouse. If you sent the papers by certified mail, then you will need to sign the affidavit. After filing the papers for divorce, your spouse can respond in several ways.  Your spouse can decide “agree to” the divorce, meaning that the divorce is “uncontested.” This makes the rest of the divorce process much easier than the other options. In an uncontested divorce, the parties do not have to appear in court over the divorce proceedings, although they may still need to appear in court to determine any property divisions or child custody or child support issues.Keep...

This one is easy to remember, as the symbol looks just like a clothes iron. You can iron as usual, without any special considerations.  If this symbol contains one dot, iron at a low temperature.  If this symbol contains two dots, iron at a medium temperature.  If this symbol contains three dots, iron at a high temperature. Do not iron with steam if the garment contains a label with a symbol of an iron with an X over lines coming out of the bottom. Think of the lines coming out of the iron as steam or water to help you remember the symbol. Use only dry heat, as the steam may damage or ruin the fabric. Do not iron the garment if the label contains a symbol of an iron with an X through it. If the item has wrinkles, tumble-dry it if the label allows. You could also hang it in the bathroom while taking a steamy shower, which will help the wrinkles disappear.

There are three main types of bases: Farming, Trophy, and Hybrid.  A farming base is a type of base mostly active when you farm. The main idea of this base is to leave your town hall away outside your walls. You may lose some trophies. Don't worry, because you will rewarded with a 12 hours shield during which no one can attack your village! You also generally keep your storages and possibly your collectors inside your walls. A trophy base is one in which you put your town hall inside your base, and your trophies are the most important thing to you. It is just the opposite of the farming base. You will risk losing your resources. A hybrid base is one where it defends your trophies and resources equally. Some popular base designs are:  An egg-shell base is where the base is surrounded with multiple walls. For example one core surrounded by walls, with an outer layer of walls surrounding less important buildings. A compartment base is where all of the most important buildings have their own compartment, and less important buildings go outside the base. These form an extra "building wall." A bulkhead base is kind of like the Titanic. The idea is that there is multiple compartments, so if your enemies flood one section, the others will support it. It is sort of a mix between an egg-shell and a compartment base. A modified compartment base is where your compartments hold 2-3 buildings instead of each compartment holding only one.

TL;DR in English: Decide which type of base you want to have. Decide what you want to make your layout.

Not all plants can grow in every region. An area's temperature and climate factor greatly in the plant's chances of success. If you live in a northern region, for example, you'll have trouble growing a plant native to a tropical rainforest. When you pick out seeds to plant, do a little research to make sure the plant species does well in your area.  If you have a greenhouse or plan to grow your plant indoors, you may be able to plant a seed even if the species is not native to your growing region. A good way to figure out what plants grow well in your area is to visit a local nursery and talk with an employee there. He or she will be able to help you pick out hardy seeds that have a great chance of germinating and growing into healthy plants. Some seeds are easy to plant in many growing regions and under a lot of different conditions. Look for "easy seeds," which are hardy and simple to grow for the beginning gardener. In the US, you can look up your USDA hardiness zone. Find a seed that grows well in your zone. The time of year you plant seeds is determined by both the plant's needs and your growing region. If you live in a place with long, cold winters, you may need to wait until mid-Spring to plant your seeds. If you live in a place that warms up early in the year, you can probably start earlier. Check your seed packet for information on how early to start your seeds.  Starting seeds too early or late can prevent germination from occurring, so it's important to figure out the right time to plant to ensure success. If you are starting seeds indoors, you should keep in mind that most vegetable seeds need to be started at least two weeks before the last frost, and some as early as 2-3 months before the last frost. Even if you live in a cold area, you'll need to plan ahead to make sure you start your seeds in time for the growing season. Some seeds should be planted directly in the soil outside. Always research your specific seed and plant to understand how best to start it. Most seeds need similar growing...

Mini golf is a game where players try to get a ball in a hole in the least number of shots. Mini golf is fun because you can create fun obstacles for your holes. While traditional golf is played with 18 holes, mini golf is played with nine but you can vary how many holes depending on the location. Plan your course based on time and resources. If you have very young children, you can keep the course as simple as possible and use large colourful balls or tennis balls to keep the game easy. You can even just have one hole instead of nine if your kids are toddlers. Let your family help you plan the course to unleash their creativity. Some kids may work on the course for weeks. Older kids enjoy creating complex obstacles to challenge each other. Begin by brainstorming your ideas for each hole. Draw them out on paper or a whiteboard. If you have played mini golf before it's helpful to give examples of holes that you have enjoyed before. Figure out what you can use around the house to simulate similar obstacles.  For example, use containers that your ball can pass through, books to build tunnels, or stuffed animals that the ball needs to move passed. You may use around nine red plastic cups for your holes if you do not have enough containers. You may create a putt-putt zoo if you have many stuffed animals. Use your stuffed animals as obstacles for every hole. If you want to play outdoors, use the driveway for faster play. Play throughout your house if you have adequate space and time.  The putt-putt Zoo is basically a jungle themed course. Use painter's tape to secure your holes down and set them around the room. Place the stuffed animals as both decorations and obstacles for each course. For example, if you have a particularly large stuffed bear you can get players to putt through the bear's legs to get to the hole. You may also have each player make the noise of the animal at the obstacle. This is a great course for very young children. The driveway mini-golf course is great for accuracy as the difficulty...

Start replacing one or two feedings a day, and work your way to completely stopping.  This is the safest, and most painless way as your body will slowly stop producing milk.  Breasts that are not weaned gradually, but suddenly, can become painful, engorged, and even put mothers at significant risk for developing mastitis.  If you have been pumping and wish to stop, here is a typical schedule that will wean you off your pump slowly but surely: Day 1: pump for 5 minutes every 2-3 hours Day 2: pump for 5 minutes every 4-5 hours Day 3-7: pump just long enough to relieve discomfort This should reduce your discomfort and some swelling. Wear a supportive, but not-too-tight bra. Opt for clothing that is loose and less likely to show milk spots; consider wearing nursing pads to absorb leaking milk. Taking a warm shower, although it inevitably involves some stimulation, may help to relieve pressure in the breast and soothe discomfort. Avoid direct stimulation from the water whenever possible. If you start to become engorged, hand pump just enough to reduce your discomfort. If you become dehydrated, you will actually start producing more milk, and your discomfort will increase. Estrogen injections have fallen out of favor, although they were once used to promote estrogen suppression. Some forms of estrogen injections contain known carcinogens. If you have consistent trouble with lactation suppression, ask your doctor about taking medications like bromocriptine (Parlodel). Doctors usually don't recommend taking Parlodel because of increased likelihood of hypertension, stroke, and heart attack. Hormone levels will change drastically as your milk production slows, which will trigger mood swings.  Many women feel guilty, inadequate and sad.  Getting through these emotions may be the hardest part of the whole process, but having a good support system will help.

TL;DR in English: Wean gradually, whenever possible. Take a pain reliever containing ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Avoid nipple stimulation, as this will trigger milk production. Avoid pumping your milk as it signals to your body that it needs to produce more. Drink lots of water. In severe cases, talk to your doctor about estrogen injections. Prepare emotionally.

Make sure she doesn’t already have a date, first and foremost. Ask her friends if they think she would be interested in going with you if you aren’t sure. Once you’ve decided for sure who you are going to ask, then you can also use her friends as resources to decide how to ask her. Ask them questions about her and run ideas past her to decide how to ask her to prom. Not everyone wants a big, fancy, public promposal. Think about the girl’s personality to decide if you are going to ask her in a romantic, dramatic, creative, funny, or straightforward way. For instance, if she is shy and not super outgoing, you might want to make it a more straightforward promposal. If she’s extremely outgoing and always the center of attention, then you might want to get creative and come up with a big public promposal. She will appreciate that you took the extra time to make it a personalized promposal. Customize your promposal to things she likes or common interests or experiences you have shared.  For example, if she loves cats, then find a way to incorporate a cat theme into the promposal. If you two had a fun experience together, like a summer camping trip where you hit it off, try to include a reference to this when you ask her. Incorporate some romance, such as bringing the girl her favorite flowers or writing her a love poem, into your promposal if love is in the air. Don’t do this if you are just asking a friend or someone who you don’t want a romantic situation with.  This is another situation in which you can ask her friends about things she likes such as her favorite flowers or chocolates. Make sure that the situation is romantic before you decide to ask in a romantic way. You don’t want to cause an awkward situation with a friend or confuse someone you don’t have any romantic feelings for. There is always the possibility that the girl you want to ask doesn’t actually want to go with you. She might not be allowed to or have another commitment. You can make a deal to go with a friend in case you both don’t get dates...

TL;DR in English: Ask her friends to make sure she is available to go with you. Decide how you are going to ask her based on her personality.

The certification requirements for becoming an ABA vary by state, as there is no national certification program. Contact the Behavior Analyst Certification Board for your state to find out the specific requirements in your area. Some states may require licensing in addition to certification. In addition, some states will let you substitute relevant work experience for practicum. Before you can take the board-certified behavioral analyst (BCBA) exam, you must first pass an online, competency-based training module. This 8-hour module is available through the gateway on the BACB website: https://www.bacb.com/. In order to become certified as an ABA, you must pass the board-certified behavioral analyst (BCBA) exam. Visit the BACB website to find available examination dates as well as information on the content and structure of the exam. For instance, you’ll find that the BCBA exam is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions and 10 ungraded “pilot” questions. Some states require ABA licensing in addition to certification. Though requirements vary based on location, to obtain a license you’ll generally need to submit a fee, a licensing form, proof of education and experience, and an attestation of moral character.

Make sure your iPad is completely unplugged and press the "Sleep" button on the top of your iPad or turn your iPad off completely. If you have it, remove your iPad Cleaning Cloth from its case. Check your iPad's screen for any debris or large particles. If necessary, use compressed air to blow off any debris to avoid scratching your iPad's screen. Place your iPad Cleaning Cloth on your iPad's screen. Gently rub the iPad Cleaning Cloth in a circular motion until the screen is clean. Inspect for any remaining patches of oil or grime. Repeat after every use or as needed. Avoid using the following items to clean an iPad.

The variety will depend on what you expect from the nasturtium, as well as the space you have available:  Indian Cress - this is a vigorous trailing grower, good for a large garden; it's also known as  the common garden nasturtium. The flowers come in shades of orange, yellow and red and it should flower all summer. This is an ideal plant to train up a trellis or fence. Dwarf nasturtium - a small bush variety, better for a smaller garden space. It has a wide range of flower shades and is easy to control in the garden. Peach Melba - has yellow flowers with orange-red centers, a popular addition to salads. Salmon Baby - has a unique orange-pink hue that looks great in the garden. Nasturtiums are commonly started indoors so they'll begin to flower as soon as possible in the spring, after the last frost has passed. If you want to start your seeds indoors, plan to do so four to six weeks before the last spring frost. To start the seeds indoors,  Plant each seed in a peat pot, which can be transplanted directly to the ground to avoid disturbing the roots. Use seed substrate, rather than potting soil. Keep the seeds in a bright window, and keep the peat moist. Plant the seedlings after the last frost of the spring has passed. Nasturtiums like full sun, but they need to be shielded from midday summer heat. Since they're so low maintenance, nasturtiums are excellent for growing in spots that need covering up or for those stark, unloved parts of your garden.  Nasturtiums don't mind growing in a container; they'll flower just as profusely in a container as in the ground. Hanging baskets are also an ideal choice. Nasturtiums like loose, well-drained soil that retains moisture. They prefer soil that is not rich, so don't use fertilizer. If there is too much fertilizer in the soil, nasturtiums focus on producing more leaves rather than flowers.Avoid any area with heavy, wet clay soil. If you're direct sowing seeds, plant them 10 inches apart and about ½ inch deep. If you're transplanting seedlings, keep them in their peat...

TL;DR in English: Choose a suitable nasturtium variety for your garden. Consider starting the seeds indoors. Select a good planting spot. Prepare the soil. Direct sow or transplant seedlings after the last frost.

Angels are known for their amazing bodies – after all, their work clothes are lingerie- and their diets reflect this. There is no clear diet for an Angel body, but all models stress healthy eating.  For breakfast, eat something high in protein, like Eggs Benedict or oatmeal. For lunch, eat a protein like chicken or fish, with some vegetables and fruit. For dinner, eat sushi and rice. Occasionally treat yourself to carbohydrates and desserts, but eat them in moderation. Eating right is not enough; to have the lean, toned body of an Angel, you’ll also have to make working out a priority. Angels differ in their preferred exercise regimens, but they all have found methods of working out that they really enjoy.  For long, lean muscles, try yoga, pilates and ballet. To burn fat, try biking, running or boxing. Some Angels will cut out alcohol in the month preceding a big show. Reducing alcohol intake is a great way to cut empty calories, and will also go a long way towards improving the quality of your skin.  In addition to cutting out alcohol, make sure to drink water every day. Drinking a half-gallon of water will aid in digestion and help cut tummy bloat.

TL;DR in English: Eat a clean diet. Find a workout that you love. Cut out alcohol.

Remove any additional external cords and/or electronics that may still be connected to the iPad. The Cleaning Cloth is the black microfiber cloth that came with the iPad packaging. Briskly shake the cloth in the air to remove any loose particles from the microfiber. You don't want to accidentally turn the debris into an abrasive by rubbing it over the screen. Note: if your compressed air produces patches of frozen air, be careful to avoid getting any moisture into one of the iPad's openings, in particular, as well as on the screen itself. If you don't have the Cleaning Cloth that came with the iPad, you can also use:  Any microfiber cloth Any lens cloth you might use on your glasses Any soft, lint-free cloth Do not use: cloths, towels, paper towels, or any similar items on your iPad. These damage the screen of the iPad.  You will see that with just a few circular strokes, your iPad will be shining like new! This will help to keep your iPad clean and clear of fingerprints and smudges. iPads have an oleophobic coating on the screen, which is sensitive and only requires a fine cloth to clean. The following items will damage the oleophobic coating if used to clean the iPad:  Window or household cleaners Aerosol sprays Solvents Alcohol Ammonia Abrasives

People who are self-absorbed are usually waiting for people to compliment them. If you not only love compliments but live for them, then you may be self-absorbed. It's normal if you take a compliment as an unexpected delight or surprise, but feeling that you’re owed a compliment because you're so great is characteristic of self-absorption. Compliments should be happy “extras” that give you a boost, not expectations. If you have trouble accepting other ways of doing things, you may believe that you are the only one that knows best. Whether you’re planning a project at work or organizing a dance at your school, if you think that you know exactly how to do things and hate it when other people take the reins, then you may need to work on becoming more flexible.  You might hate not being able to take the credit for something or admitting that someone else was right, but doing so can help you become more open. For example, if you find yourself feeling angry, annoyed, or even livid that someone else is trying to do things a different way, even if it’s just a lab partner who has a new idea for a project, your ego may be getting in the way of your progress. People who are self-absorbed may have trouble feeling happy for others who are receiving praise or recognition. If someone in your circle receives praise, whether it’s your sibling getting praise for a good grade or a co-worker for wrapping up an amazing project, then your natural reaction should be to feel happy for the person. If you find yourself feeling jealous, angry, or confused about why you’re not the one getting the credit, then you may need to work on becoming less self-absorbed. If you routinely forget birthdays, high school graduations, promotions, or other important events in your friends' lives, but still expect others to remember personal milestones, then it may be because you’re too focused on yourself. While we all get busy and miss the occasional milestone, consistently forgetting important events of your friends is a sign of self-absorption. Ask...

TL;DR in English: Stop wanting or expecting praise. Be flexible about different ways of doing things. Let go of jealousy over others’ accomplishments. See if you remember birthdays, milestones, or other important events in other people's lives. Develop friendships with a variety of personalities. Be kinder to everyone.

When you light the paper on fire, you want to be in a safe environment with no flammable objects around. This could be a laboratory or a neutral environment like on the pavement of your driveway. Bring the papers that you dried, matches, and a flame-proof container like a baking tray or measuring cup, as well as a fire extinguisher. First make sure that the flash paper is completely dry because the trick won’t work if it is still partially wet. When you have checked that it’s dry, use a pair of heatproof tongs or forceps to hold up the piece of flash paper over the flame-proof container. Light the match, then hold it up to the flash paper. You will see that the paper immediately catches fire, then starts to quickly burn down without producing any ash or residue! After you finish playing with your flash paper, put any additional pieces of paper in a safe location like a drawer or envelope, as they are extremely flammable!

TL;DR in English: Bring the paper to a neutral location. Hold a piece of flash paper up with forceps or tongs. Light the flash paper on fire.

Once you've received a coded message, write down the very first letter of the encoded word.  From here, write down every other letter you find.  This will help you break the encoded word into its original halves, letting you recreate the original word.  For example, start with the encoded word “sreect”.  The letter “S” would be the first letter to write down. Write down every other letter in the code after “S”.  This would result in “sec”, which is the original first half of the word before it was encoded. After you've written down the first letter of the word and every other letter after it, you can start on the second letter.  Write this second letter down and then write down every letter after it.  This will help you recreate the second half of the original word before it was encoded.  As an example, imagine you are decoding the word “sreect”.  The letter “R” would be your starting point for this step. Write down every other letter after “r” to complete the second half of the original word.  In this case, the result is “ret”. Now that you have the two original halves of the word, you can put them together the recreate the original word.  Take each half of the word and join them together to reveal the original word.  If everything worked out properly, you should now have successfully decoded the word and you will be able to read it normally.  As an example, the original coded word may have been “sreect”. When the original halves of the word were recreated, the result was “sec” and “ret”. These two halves combine to form the original word “secret”. You may have a message that is longer than one word.  To read the entire message, use the decoding technique on each individual word.  Once you decode each word, you will be able to clearly read the complete message.

TL;DR in English: Look at the first letter of the encoded word. Write down the second letter in the word. Recreate the entire word. Finish decoding the message.

. This will help you maintain a healthy diet and have more energy. Fresh, whole foods are a better choice than processed foods because they contain more nutrition and healthy vitamins. Processed foods — such as those found in microwaveable meals, fast food, and prepared foods — are high in calories. They often include preservatives, added sugar, added fat, dyes, and more. Such foods provide little nutrition, which translates to less energy. Whole foods — which are rich in nutrients — provide much more energy to your body. They include fruits, vegetables, unsalted nuts, lean meats, fresh fish or shellfish, eggs, low-fat milk, plain yogurt, and low-fat cheese. . Keep in mind the importance of whole foods and make sure your diet is well-balanced, meaning all food groups are represented. A balanced diet will promote optimum nutrition and help you feel more energetic every day.  Fruits and vegetables should make up half your diet. Eat the amount of grains that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can help you find the correct amount to eat, half of which should be whole grains.  Eat the amount of protein that corresponds to your age, sex, and level of activity. The USDA MyPlate initiative can also help you with protein.  Dairy is also part of a balanced diet, and MyPlate can help with that as well. Eating too little, or eating too much, can effect your energy levels. Skipping meals or skimping on calories slows your metabolism, as your body is attempting to conserve energy, and may lead you to feel lethargic. On the other hand, overeating (especially refined carbohydrates and sugary snacks) can cause a spike in your blood sugar levels, which will cause a burst of energy, followed by a crash that will leave you feeling tired (and probably cranky). Try eating three meals daily or six small meals, spaced evenly throughout the day.   Avoid binge eating. You may be good at controlling portions; however, if you find yourself suddenly losing control and eating large amounts of...

Keep pipes in cold areas wrapped with "pipe sponge" covers, rags, or other insulating material. If an electrical outlet is nearby, you can keep them wrapped with electrical heat tape, unplugged, then plug the tape in whenever cold weather arrives. Check your crawlspaces and external walls for holes, and repair them to minimize exposure to cold air. Use wind barriers or faucet covers to protect faucets and valves on the exterior of the house. During cold weather, turn on a 60-watt incandescent light bulb near the area of pipe that previously froze, or just below it. If used to warm crawl spaces and other unsupervised areas, make sure there are no flammable materials kept in the same space. It is much more difficult for pipes to freeze if water is running through them since the water will usually travel through the pipe before it has time to freeze. During sub-freezing weather, keep faucets slightly open to allow a trickle of water. You can adjust the ballast in your toilet tank to keep it running even when the tank is full.

Store smaller items in pouches to keep them from getting lost. Put trash items in a small Ziploc and empty it every day. Use a removable purse organizer if you like to switch bags. Use the smallest size purse you can so it’s easy to carry around and keep neat. Wipe down or wash your bag on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

Fatty and spicy foods are more difficult for your body to digest, so they irritate your stomach and cause heartburn easier. Prepare your meals by grilling, searing, or baking them so they’re healthier and less oily. Choose milder spices or simply stick to salt and pepper for a basic seasoning.  If you eat out at restaurants, try to choose baked or grilled options rather than fried foods. Chocolate and peppermint may also trigger heartburn. These foods are alkaline, which means they help counteract acid so it’s not as irritating. Try to have foods like bananas, melons, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and cucumber since they’re the most helpful. Eat 1–2 servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal to maintain a healthy diet.  Celery, lettuce, and watermelon can also be helpful since they’re watery and dilute stomach acid. Citrus fruits and tomatoes are acidic, so they may make your heartburn feel worse. Fiber fills up your stomach and makes you feel more so you’re less likely to keep eating. Enjoy foods like whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, peas, and broccoli to get fiber throughout the day. Aim to have between 20–40 grams of fiber daily.  For example, 1 slice of whole wheat bread has about 2 grams of fiber, 1 cup (175 g) of broccoli has about 5 grams, and 1 cup (150 g) of peas has about 9 grams. Gradually increase the amount of fiber in your diet, since too much at once may give you gas, bloating, or cramps. When you prepare meals, only eat the recommended portion listed on the packaging. For example, typical serving sizes are around 2–3 ounces (57–85 g) of meat and about ½ cup (125 g) of vegetables per meal. Only eat enough food to feel satisfied so you don’t feel uncomfortable later on. Store any leftover food for later if you feel full rather than forcing yourself to eat them. If you need to, have 4–5 smaller meals throughout the day rather than a few larger ones. If you still feel hungry, try drinking water since your body may confuse dehydration for hunger. Take smaller bites and set your...

TL;DR in English: Cut greasy and spicy foods out of your diet. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts to help neutralize your stomach acid. Incorporate more fiber into your meals to avoid overeating. Reduce your portion sizes so you don’t overeat. Eat slowly to help your body break down food easier. Stop drinking coffee so you have less acid in your stomach. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Write down a detailed account of the rules and regulations of your fictional dystopian world. You can then refer to these notes as you compose the novel. Having a clear set of dos and don’ts will make it easier for you to immerse the reader in the world of the novel. It will also ensure you keep the world consistent and easy to follow. To create the rules, ask yourself:  What are the laws of the world? Is there a legal system, and if so, what does it look like? How are people punished for their actions? Does everyone receive the same punishment for their actions? What is considered taboo in the world? A strong opening line will set the tone for the rest of the novel and draw the reader in. Come up with a first line that is descriptive and unique. It should shock or startle the reader so they pay attention and read on.  For example, you may go for a descriptive, moody opening like the first line of William Gibson’s Neuromancer: “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Or you may go for first lines that gives character and personality like Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke: “If you’re going to read this, don’t bother. After a couple pages, you won’t want to be here. So forget it. Go away. Get out while you’re still in one piece. Save yourself.” Avoid making your dystopian novel just about the dystopian world. Have a protagonist that feels like the center of the story. Show them trying to survive in the dystopia. Make them the guide to the world for the reader. Having a strong main character will help readers feel a personal connection to the story. For example, you may have a main character who is employed by the shadowy government in control in the dystopian world. You may then show the main character struggling to help others overthrow the government. Do not simply let your minor characters feel like stand ins or caricatures. Make your minor characters just as detailed as your main character. Give your minor characters their own dramas, feelings, and conflicts to sort out. Show...

TL;DR in English: Create the rules of the dystopian world. Start with a strong opening. Make the main character central to the story. Have well rounded minor characters. Describe the world with sensory details. Create conflict using the dystopian world.

Using small, zippered bags is the fast track to an organized purse! They’re great for storing smaller, easy-to-lose items that are too important not to pack in your purse, like toiletries, makeup, or pens. Pick up a few pouches, choosing different colors so you know what items go where. Even the most organized purse accumulates trash from time to time! To keep wrappers and receipts from dirtying up your main compartment, designate a small Ziploc as your “trash bag.” Fill it up throughout the day and toss the items into the garbage when you get home.  You can also use a small prescription pill bottle to hold trash. Reuse your trash baggie as long as you can, until it gets dirty. A purse organizer is basically a small bag-within-a-bag, complete with helpful compartments, that you slide into your larger bag. It’s a great tool for bags that don’t have their own divided sections, and can also make it easy to switch bags if you like to rotate between a few.  Grab an organizer online or from a department store. Take care of your organizer just as you would your normal purse! Keep it as neat as you can and designate sections to important items to stay organized. You can use whatever size of bag you want, but larger bags do tend to accumulate more clutter than smaller ones. Prioritize the things you really need to carry around with you all the time and leave some of the less necessary items at home when you can. You can also switch between bags when you need to. A small or medium-sized purse might be good for everyday use, but you may want a bigger tote for some special occasions, like a beach trip. Regular maintenance will keep the outside of your bag just as neat and clean as the inside! Try to give your purse a little attention every week to address stains and protect it from ordinary wear and tear.

Once you write out the full footnote once, you don't have to use the full footnote again. For any subsequent time you paraphrase or quote the same work, you can use a shortened form that leaves out the publication information. For a shortened footnote, you don't have to include the author's full name, just their last name. If there's more than one author, only include the first author's name followed by the abbreviation et al.  For example: "Smith," An example with more than one author: "Smith, et al.," For the shortened footnote, you don't have to include the entire title of the work if it's long. Choose 2 or 3 key words from the title that will allow your readers to easily recognize the work.Typically you'll choose the first 2 or 3 words from the title, excluding articles such as "a" or "the."  For example, if the title of the work is "His Name Is My Name," you might shorten the title to "His Name." Include your shortened title in italics after the author's name. For example: "Smith, His Name" If you paraphrased or quoted a specific part of the work you're citing in your text, the shortened footnote ends with the page number where the paraphrased or quoted information appears.  For example: "Smith, His Name, 101." You don't need to repeat the URL if you accessed the work online. End the shortened footnote with a period after the author's name and shortened title. for multiple notes from the same source. In your paper, you may paraphrase or quote the same source several times in a row. You still must place a footnote after each instance where you reference that work.  If you have several footnotes that reference the same source, you can use the abbreviation Ibid. instead of repeating the shortened citation. If the material you're paraphrasing or quoting is found on the same page as the previous footnote, you don't need a page number. However, if it appears on a different page, you should place a comma after the abbreviation "Ibid." and add the page number.

Some garters may just slip on. However, most will have a hook and clasp system or Velcro. Wrap it around your waist. Usually the closure goes in the back. Adjust it so it stays up but is comfortable.  Wrap the belt around your waist. It should sit about at your waistline. Attach it at the back by sliding the hooks into the clasps. Choose the line of clasps that is the most comfortable for you. This step is basically like attaching a bra. If you have trouble attaching it in the back, hook it together in the front, and then move it around to the front. Pull up your thigh highs to the right height. Start adjusting the straps to meet the top of your hose.   You'll want your straps to be at slightly different lengths. The ones in the back should be the longest, giving you room to bend over. The straps on the sides should be an inch shorter, and the ones on the front should be two inches shorter than the back, all of which will help you bend easier. It also helps when you sit down. Each clasp consists of a rubber nub and a metal piece that fits over it. To attach it, put the rubber nub underneath the top edge of the stocking. The clasp should reach straight down to the stocking, unless it's sewn on at an angle. It should fall about an inch past the top of the stocking. Slide the metal clasp over the nub. Pull up so the nub slides into place. Repeat with the remaining clasps around the belt.  When you fasten a clasp, push the rubber nub from behind so that you can see it sticking out through the front. However, don't push so hard that you tear a hole in your stockings. The top of each clasp has a wide end and a narrow end at the bottom. Start with the wide end, sliding it over the nub, then pull up so the narrow end is surrounding the nub, holding it in place. Be careful if you have plastic clasps. If you apply too much pressure to a plastic clasp, it will snap in two, and your garter won't be usable. You'll likely need to readjust once you've gotten your stockings settled to make sure they're at the right height....

TL;DR in English: Put the garter on. Put on your pantyhose. Attach the garter clasps to your thigh highs. Readjust as needed. Put on your underwear last.

If you are lonely or have been single for a long time, it might be easy to settle or get desperate for anyone that shows interest. However, this could lead to a disastrous and unsatisfactory relationship. Maintain your personal standards by doing the following:  Look for a partner who will respect you and your interests. Being with someone who does not respect you shows desperation to be with anyone that shows interest. Look for someone you can talk to about your interests and who will not belittle you. Find a partner who enjoys spending time with you. If  you are in a relationship with someone who you only see when it is convenient for them, then you may just be desperate for any company rather than good company. Look for a partner who shares the same values or goals as you. You do not want someone who will disrespect you and your core beliefs. Although it is easy to identify desperate actions when looking for a relationship, desperation can manifest in ongoing relationships. Do not desperately hold onto a relationship that is no longer working. Consider ending a relationship if:  Your significant other is emotionally or physically abusive. This is not only dangerous to your emotional and physical health, but also something you do not have to live with. Your partner does not respect you, your friends, or your family. Do not be desperate to please others in your relationship; do not be desperate to get a guy that your mother would approve of. It is important to be in a relationship for reasons that work for you, not to desperately be in a relationship for the sake of not being single. Your partner is a negative presence in your life. Do not desperately make excuses for your partner in hopes that s/he will change. Supporting your partner is one thing, but making continual excuses is another. This will cultivate a negative body image and negative thoughts. Instead, list what your strengths and what makes you unique.  Identify what aspects of your life you compare yourself with others.

Think about everything you’d like to say, then jot down the ideas that seem most important to you. Pour out your heart and say how you feel about your friends. Then, revise what you’ve written so that it’s clear and concise. You might write something like, “Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of conflict inside myself, but recently I realized something really important. You’re one of my closest friends, so I want to be my true self around you. I hope that you’ll accept me for who I am. I’m gay, and I’m ready to live my life out and proud.” Your sexuality or gender identity is part of you, so you have every right to be excited and proud to share it with people. Don't let worries about how people will react make you feel ashamed or like you're holding in a secret. As you plan what you want to say, keep your tone positive and celebratory. For instance, use an upbeat tone of voice while you're speaking. Additionally, focus on how you're sharing your truth rather than thinking of this as a dark secret. You are totally in control of what you say during your coming out. Don’t feel pressured to provide personal details or to explain yourself. Decide what you’re comfortable sharing, and stick to that. You don't need to provide "proof" of your sexuality or gender identity. Similarly, you don't need to explain how you realized your identity unless you want to do so. What you share is totally up to you. State what you want to say aloud so you can hear how it sounds. You might also sit in front of a mirror so you can practice telling it to someone else. Keep practicing until you feel comfortable with what you want to say.  If something feels wrong, don’t be afraid to change it. If you’re already out to a family member or best friend, ask them to help you practice. For instance, you might tell them what you plan to say and get their feedback.

TL;DR in English:


Brainstorm your ideas. Take action on your ideas. Take a break from your project if you feel stuck. Notice what you like in others' works. Collaborate your ideas with others. Work with an experienced mentor.

There are many benefits that you can include in your compensation plan in addition to bonuses and other merit-based incentives. Examples include required benefits, like worker's compensation and health insurance, along with optional benefits, like various other types of insurance (health, life, or disability), vacation time, sick days, and stock options. Again, study which benefits are commonly offered to this type of employee in your industry. Revise benefit offerings according to your company goals. For example, a company with great benefits like paid time off, long maternity leave, and good stock options might help a company retain employees more easily. Include both short and long term options in your compensation plan. Ideally, your plan should have benefits that reward employees in the short run, such as bonuses and commissions. It should also have long term benefits, such as healthy retirement plans. Provide a health plan and possibly a dental plan, if it's in the budget. You may also want to include a flexible spending benefit.  Consider opportunities to excel with tuition reimbursement or promotions and pay raises. Provide family orientated benefits, such as an onsite childcare or daycare reimbursement. If your business does not do well or temporarily goes through hard times, you will likely have to pull expenses from your benefits, and this may cause resentment among your staff. It is always easier to add a benefit then take one away. So be realistic when designing your benefits offerings. You can always increase benefits over time to reward loyal employees. You may want to involve your lawyer to ensure that nothing is left vague. When hiring new employees, you may want to go over your benefits plan so that if there are any questions, the new employee can have you address them immediately. The same is true for all incentive plans. These must be clearly stated in writing.

TL;DR in English: Research the options. Offer a compensation plan that includes a mix of benefits. Only include benefits you can afford. Be clear when putting your benefits plan into your company policy book.

Almost every outdoor store will have these in the camping section. They are small, cheap sets that contain glue, sandpaper, and patches for tents, bike tires, and air mattresses. If you are in a pinch and the hole is small, a tire patch made for cycling should work fine.  Some companies have dedicated air mattress repair kits that you can find online, such as the Thermarest Repair Kit, Tear-Aid, and the Sevylor Repair Patch. Make sure that the patch kit works on plastic or vinyl. You don’t want any air getting under your patch and ruining the glue, so let all the air out the mattress before continuing. If your hole is on the top side of the mattress you’ll need to remove the soft covering to make the patch stick. Take a wire brush or some sandpaper and lightly remove the felt coating until you only have plastic surrounding your leak. Some mattress makers refer to this soft coating as “flocking.” Using soapy water or a little isopropyl alcohol, clean off the leaky area so that there is no dust, dirt, or debris surrounding the hole. Dry it completely before continuing. You want ample room to cover the leak, so cut your patch so it fits over the hole with a centimeter or more of the patch around every side. If your patches are pre-cut, use one that offers 1-2 centimeters of space around the hole itself. All patches function in one of two ways: they are simply applied like stickers, or you must apply special glue and then attach the patch. Either way, follow the instructions and apply your patch smoothly. Don’t remove it to get it “perfect.” As long as it covers the leak entirely it will work, and taking it off and reapplying it will make it less sticky. Once your patch is on, apply pressure to it for 30 seconds or more to make sure it is firmly attached. Use the heel of your hand to press down on the patch, or use a rolling pin to strongly flatten the patch against the mattress.

TL;DR in English: Buy a patch kit. Completely deflate the mattress. Sand away any soft felt near your hole. Clean and dry the area around your leak. Cut out a patch roughly one and a half times bigger than your hole. Apply the patch according to the manufacturer’s directions. Press down on the patch with firm, even pressure. Let the glue dry on the patch for 2-3 hours. Inflate the mattress and check for leaks.

Set aside some time just to generate ideas. Think of a goal or a problem, then begin to think of solutions. Let your mind express any and all ideas, even if you initially think they are good or bad. Write down your ideas and allow them to evolve. Give yourself a time limit so that you can come up with as many ideas as you can within that time. Afterward, go through and pick out your best ideas and work with them. It’s not enough just to have great ideas, you must act on them. People might respect that you’re a creative thinker, but what matters is what you do with your ideas. The action on your ideas is how you will be known or remembered.  Write down all of your ideas and weed out the ones that aren’t realistic. Find ways to express the ones that you can create! For example, if you have an idea for an original dinner recipe, play around with some ingredients until the dish tastes like perfection. Have you noticed that lots of creative people tend to procrastinate? Sometimes, procrastination can help you be more creative. Taking a break from your work (but keeping it in the back of your mind) can help you approach it differently and try new things. So, if you’re stuck on something, give yourself a break and come back to it later. Something new might hit you. For example, if you’re writing a play and want to make it original, take a break from it (for days, weeks, or even months) and see what you come up with. Original artistic works, fashion statements, or opinions don't arise out of nothing. They are built on a framework of ideas, writings, paintings and outfits from people who came before them. They look at the world in a different way. Notice what you like or appreciate, then brainstorm ways to build off of it. Taking something and putting your own twist on it is one way to make original art. For example, write a fairytale story, but make it about animals or make the setting in outer space. Working jointly with others can help unlock your creativity and help you create something truly unique together....

Understand the assignment. Determine what you hope to learn. Brainstorm ideas.

At the company you work for, you will have a specific job role and this is how you make the company money. If you can't do your job well, you will lose customers and you may become a liability, meaning that you lose the company money. To ensure you do your job well, you must learn how to do it to the company's standards. Learn from other employees, get a mentor, enroll in training courses and be eager to learn as much as you can. The results you get at work are ultimately what you will be judged on.  This is the most important part. The whole reason the company employs you is to perform in this job role. Do it correctly and do it well. Self-improvement and networking are important, but if your performance slips because of them, you won't be doing yourself any favors.  Think about the company's return on investment (ROI) on you. How much money are you making for them in relation to your salary? Doing so will help frame your contributions and help you find ways to increase your measurable value. Organize your tasks from most critical to least. When you've determined the most important 20 percent of your tasks, mark them separately from the rest. Spend the majority of your time and effort working on these, leaving the others to be completed quickly when you need to. This will allow you to do your best work on the most important tasks, rather than spreading yourself thin over both critical and non-critical tasks. Valuable employees don't stop working when the clock strikes five o'clock. If you have work to do on a project, stay later and get what you can done after hours. When you go home, bring your work with you and get it done around family time. Always be ready to respond to after-hours emails as well. This extra effort will get you noticed as a hard worker.  Understand that this work is not overtime, which requires additional pay, but simply additional work with no expectation of additional pay. Going the extra mile should also apply to the quality of your work. Some people do a good job and leave it there,...

TL;DR in English: Exceed expectations. Prioritize tasks. Go the extra mile. Become a self-starter. Be responsible.

Children (as well as adults) learn in many different ways: there are visual learners (people who learn best seeing things written down or with pictures and diagrams), auditory learners (people who learn best by hearing people talk), and kinesthetic learners (people who learn best through movement and by doing a task). There are also people who have strengths in spatial concepts, music, and interpersonal skills.  Find out where your students’ strengths lie by having them take a learning style inventory in the beginning of the year. Try to use as many possible models of teaching to cover all bases. Use visuals, lectures, activities, music, group projects, etc. to accommodate the various learning styles of your students. Students need to feel safe physically and emotionally in order to learn. They need to know that you will not tolerate fighting, bullying, or any other disrespect of students. All student deserve equal chances to learn, and learning cannot be disrupted by negative energy. Model respect for your students, and teach them to show respect to one another. Give students opportunities to work with one another on projects. Sometimes students will not want to work with other particular students. Encourage them to treat everyone with respect and let them know that it is good practice to work with students they may not get along with, because in the real world they will have to work with all different people. Try to bridge gaps and work out issues that students have with one another by helping them find common ground with each other.

TL;DR in English: Make lessons for different learning styles. Create a safe space. Plan group activities and assignments.

As with any work your teacher assigns you, you want to know what is expected of you with regard to the project before you sit down to decide on a topic. Understanding the project is key for picking a topic that will meet the teacher’s requirements and keep you from getting frustrated as you work.  If the teacher has provided an assignment sheet, read it over with a pen or highlighter in hand and mark important details pertaining to the types of topic you may choose, the length of the presentation (if any), materials, sources required, etc. Pay attention to the due date as well—you don’t want to spend days working on a project only to run out of time before you finish! Write down any questions or concerns with the project assignment and ask your teacher (or, if you’re on a tight deadline and the teacher is unavailable, ask a reliable classmate). Be as specific as possible with your questions. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t understand the presentation,” you can say, “I don’t understand how the presentation is supposed to be formatted.” The latter example is much more likely to get you a clear explanation of what you are supposed to do. If you do a project “just to get it done” or “because you have to,” you’re less likely to enjoy it and less likely do your best work. Instead, try looking at the project as an opportunity to increase your skills, knowledge, and ability. Think about areas where you skills could use improvement and whether there things you’d like to or need to learn. How about areas where you’ve shown some weakness? It’s very common to shy away from working in areas that we don’t consider our strongest, but that can often be a mistake, as it keeps us from building ourselves up in those areas and widening our range of talents. Get out a piece of paper and a pen/pencil or open a blank document on your computer and set a timer for 5 minutes (don’t worry if 5 minutes isn’t long enough—you can always go longer if you need to). Then start the timer and write down every idea that comes into your...

Don't pour the last few drops of coffee from the pot.

Ingest prunes or other high-fiber foods. Drink peppermint, chamomile, or ginger tea. Mix up a solution of baking soda and water. Drink apple-cider vinegar. Sip on aloe vera juice.

You should leave the last few tablespoons (several ml) of coffee in the bottom of the kettle when you make cowboy coffee. All the grains will be concentrated in the last few drops, so it’s best to discard the last of the coffee rather than drinking it. For traditional cowboy coffee, the grounds don’t get strained from the coffee.

TL;DR in English: Don’t pour the last few drops of coffee from the pot.

For sufferers of anxiety attacks, the feelings of worry and dread associated with anxiety can "snowball", becoming so intense that they overwhelm everything else, and leave the sufferer stunned, panicking, and unable to process what is going on. These episodes are often brought on by high-stress events or situations, are extremely unpleasant and bewildering, and can last from a few minutes, to hours or even entire days.  Anxiety attack sufferers often experience a "deer-in-the-headlights" feeling of being stunned and unable to decide how to respond to a stressful situation. Sufferers of anxiety attacks often experience sharp drops or increases in body temperature (hot or cold flashes), as well as feelings of intense shortness of breath or rapid, erratic heartbeat. Anxiety attacks are often accompanied by obsessive thoughts, which are intense, and unwanted thoughts associated with a problem, worry, or stressful situation. During an anxiety attack, these thoughts may seem to engulf the sufferer, making it difficult or impossible for them to focus on anything else. While these obsessive thoughts may be associated with a concrete problem in the sufferer's life, they can also be much more abstract. For instance, the obsession may be centered on a disturbing or stressful image or sound which becomes "stuck" in the sufferer's mind, preventing thought of anything else. Anxiety attacks are painful, and often debilitating. The physical and emotional strain associated with regular, intense anxiety can also have long-term effects on your health. If you are struggling with anxiety, you should talk with a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or counselor about your symptoms, and possible treatments for anxiety.  The simple act of asking for help from others can help alleviate your symptoms, and set you on a path for less-stressed living.

TL;DR in English: Watch for episodes of snowballing or overwhelming worry. Watch for intense physical tension or discomfort. Be mindful of obsessive thinking. Consult a medical professional.

A common cause of stomach ache is constipation: your body needs to move its bowels, but something is blocking or impeding this movement.  You can ease constipation by eating or drinking fiber-rich items such as prunes, bran, or broccoli.  Prunes are particularly powerful as they contain the natural laxative sorbitol, as well as packing a mean, fiber-full punch.  If constipation persists after consuming fiber-rich foods and drinks, try a mild laxative such as a water-soluble powder or sennoside-containing tea. A cup of coffee can also stimulate your digestive tract muscles and cause a bowel movement.  Don't gulp it down all day long, though.  Coffee is a natural diuretic, so too much of it can cause dehydration and exacerbate constipation.  Prune juice is well known to help stimulate the bowels and get them moving.  Drink a small glass in the AM, and a small glass in the PM to help with constipation. Studies have shown that these three herbs can help mitigate nausea and general abdominal discomfort.  Ginger regulates digestion, while mint and chamomile can be particularly soothing to cramped muscles. You can also chew on boiled mint leaves or drink ginger water rather than drinking teas made from these herbs.  To make ginger water, toss a few chunks of ginger in hot water, steep, and strain. Most over-the-counter antacids contain baking soda as their primary ingredient, so next time skip the store and make your own antacid at home.   Simply dissolve a tablespoon into a glass of warm water and drink the solution slowly. Repeat this process every few hours until your indigestion or nausea subside. Unlike regular white vinegar, apple cider vinegar alleviates nausea by absorbing unwanted nutrients in your stomach. Mix two to three tablespoons of it into a glass of lukewarm water. If the taste doesn't put you off too much, you can sip on a glass every few hours until your nausea goes away. Purchase an organic, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar which clearly states that it contains 'the mother.'  This means that it...

If your bed is messy and unkept, your room will look dirty. However, if your bed is neatly made, your room will look much tidier. Make this a habit by making your bed every morning when you wake up. Wash your bedding every one or two weeks. If you sweat a lot while you sleep, you may need to wash it more frequently. If your kitchen counters get cluttered and dirty, your whole kitchen will look dirty. First, clear away any ingredients or tools immediately after you use them. Next, wipe the counters down with a damp paper towel to remove any food debris from the surface. Don’t let liquids or wet foods dry onto the counter. They are harder to clean and may damage the counter’s finish. If you have a stack of bills by the door or a pile of books next to the bed, you can arrange them into a neat pile. A neat pile will instantly make the room look much more organized. While you’re tidying the stack of clutter, see if there’s anything you can throw away. The less clutter you have, the easier it is to clean your house.

TL;DR in English: Make your bed every morning. Keep your kitchen counters clean. Arrange clutter into neat piles.

. When it's time to eat, make sure that you're away from distractions. Studies have shown that people who were distracted while eating felt less full, satisfied, and consumed more food than people who practiced mindful eating. People who have healthy weights enjoy their meals and snacks to the fullest and have limited distractions while they eat. Remember, skinny people may not be the same.  Focus on each bite that you take: What are the tastes? What is the texture like? Is it hot or cold? Make sure that you chew your food thoroughly before you swallow. Try putting your fork down in between bites and chewing 20–30 times per bite. Do not eat large portions regularly or eat until you are full; instead, listen to what your body is telling you about the appropriate amount of food to eat. This ability may come naturally for some, but may take practice and concentration for others.   Stopping when you're satisfied can be difficult. It's easy to eat until we feel "full" or have had a little too much. However, if you eat mindfully and pay attention, your body should tell you when you're satisfied. Satisfied may feel different to everyone. Typically signs include: a lack of hunger, a feeling that you will not get hungry again for 3–4 hours, or a disinterest in your food. You may feel a slight presence of food in your stomach. Many times satisfaction is a lack of a feeling.  If you feel full, you might have eaten too much. Fullness may feel like: a stretching of your stomach, bloated or uncomfortable. When you're full, you may think "that was a few bites too many." . Another hallmark of people who stay thin, rather than skinny people, is that they typically do not emotionally eat on a regular basis. Those that have trouble managing their weight may cope with stress or other emotions with food.   Come up with a list of activities that can help you de-stress, calm down or self-soothe. This could be: listening to music, taking a hot shower, reading a good book or going for a walk. Journaling may also help manage emotional...

TL;DR in English: Eat mindfully Stop eating when you're satisfied, not full. Track emotional eating Don't skip meals. Exercise regularly.

Think of who you are going on the date with. Take a few moments to yourselves. Include everyone. Avoid being too intimate or personal.

Many events and situations can trigger a stress response. A major life stressor can include living through a natural disaster (like a flood, hurricane, or earthquake), ending a relationship, starting a new school or job, or the death of a loved one. A stress response can also occur due to multiple events such as marital problems or school problems. Adjustment problems can occur from recurrent events (like going to chemotherapy or driving in a car after an accident)  or continuous events, such as living in an unsafe neighborhood. Problems with adjustment can manifest as physical symptoms. Some common symptoms include trembling or twitching, heart palpitations, and physical complaints such as stomach aches, headaches, and general aches and pains in the body. Notice if you have any of these symptoms and think back to when they started. Did the symptoms begin around a stressful time in your life? This may be related to stress response syndrome. You might feel nervous or tense, or find yourself crying frequently. Other symptoms include depression, anxiety, worry, and tension. You could also feel hopeless, sad, or helpless. You may also withdraw from people or social events or isolate yourself from others frequently.  Notice major shifts in your emotional functioning as related to stressors in your life. Did any emotional symptoms occur right after the event? Did they come gradually over the first months after an event? Emotional symptoms can onset immediately or over time. Some people experience behavioral changes as a result of experiencing distress. You may experience impulsive behavior such as impromptu shopping trips. Or you may experience defiant behavior, such as not wanting to follow directions or listen to authority. Children and teens may experience behavior changes more often than adults, and may act out their feelings. This can include skipping school, engaging in fights, or other negative behaviors.

TL;DR in English: Identify triggers of stress response syndrome. Be aware of physical symptoms. Look for emotional symptoms. Notice any changes in behavior.

The scumbling method allows artists to develop texture and value in their works. To execute this blending method, select two or more colors of oil pastels. Choose one color and begin creating controlled scribble marks across your canvas. Repeat this process with the remaining colors you selected, overlapping the colors at various, random points. Continue to layer the scribbled colors until you achieve the desired look and hue. When executing the cross-hatching method, artists blend colors together by drawing overlapping lines in two distinct directions.  Lightly sketch the area you wish to cross hatch. Select two colors of oil pastels, preferably a light and a dark shade. Determine the two directions of your lines. Assign a color to each direction. Draw a series of lines with one color going in one direction. Draw a second series of lines with the second color going in a different direction. Continue to fill in the area with lines until you achieve the desired effect. In the sgraffito method, artists create a design or add fine details by scratching through layers of oil pastels.  Apply multiple layers of oil pastels in various contrasting colors to your canvas. Often, the last layer is a dark color.  Select a pointed object of your choice, such as: a paper clip, a comb, or a wooden stylus. Use this sharp item to scratch away the layers of oil pastels, leaving behind an intricate design.

TL;DR in English: Blend your oil pastels with the scumbling method. Use the cross-hatch method to blend oil pastels. Apply the sgraffito method.

Before you actually start planning any date you will want to think about who you are inviting on the date.  You will want to make sure that everyone going on the date will be compatible with one another.  Take a few moments to think about the personalities of those going on the date to make sure it will be a good one.  Think about the other couple you are bringing along and make sure they will be a good fit for you and your partner. Try to find a good mix of personalities that will prevent any one person from dominating the conversation or from shying away. Although you will be going on a double date, taking a few moments alone with your partner can be a good idea.  This small break can give you both some time to enjoy each others company alone and discuss your thoughts and feelings about the evening.  Think about some ways you can enjoy small moments as a couple during your double date.  You might try asking your date to grab the next round of drinks with you. Getting up to dance with your date can give you both a few minutes together. Going on a double date will require you all to pay careful attention to everyone's mood and level of engagement.  Whatever the reason, you will have to step in and engage someone if it feels like they aren't comfortable, are acting withdrawn, or are being excluded.  Keep everyone engaged and part of the evening to help make your double date a good one.  If someone hasn't spoken in some time you should steer your conversation in a direction that involves their thoughts. Make sure to focus your energy on the other couple and not just your own date. Part of double dating is sharing the evening with another couple.  This couple won't share the same bond that you and your date might.  Always avoid over-sharing personal details or being overly affectionate with your partner when on a double date to keep things comfortable.  Don't discuss anything too personal that might make the other couple uncomfortable. Keep your displays of affection light.
